California requires all public schools receiving state funding to prepare and distribute a School Accountability Report Card (SARC) to the public. Charter schools are required to prepare SARC reports as a method by which to measure pupil progress in meeting pupil outcomes for state priorities. The SARC provides parents and the community with important information about each public school and to communicate a school’s progress in achieving its goals. ExED provides finance-related data for the expenditure section of the SARC. The SARC is Board approved annually. 

  
  B. Motion to approve LCAP Addendum Vote Anna Carlstone-Hurst 3 m
   

The Federal Addendum is a small update to our previous addendum that expands our use of Title 1 funds from primarily allocated to instructional aides to include an interventionist position as well. Both positions fall within the parameters of what is allowable under Title 1. 

 

These changes are reflected in the first paragraph. The second paragraph is unchanged.
